The tower was built to secure the drinking water supply in the pasture roof, which was growing rapidly at the time. Because there is no point in the town that is higher than the houses, supply from an elevated tank was impossible. However, leaving pumps running permanently would have been unprofitable.

The tower is closed and cannot be visited. But it is still the symbol of Weidach.

Below the tower is a drinking water fountain of the SÜC - Coburg.

Next to the tower is a nice children's playground.
